Sister 03:42
So many twists and turns So much change Strength and power matter As our lives rearrange Nobody knows the sadness That lies deep inside Good friends and family tend To help clear your mind And there are so many roads to follow So many thoughts are shallow I’ve got someone always right by my side Sister, won’t you stay with me Sister, take a walk with me Sister, there will be a better day 'Cause the good vibes are here with us to stay When you smile to me proudly It makes me feel good To think that life’s about love and joy At least I think it should We all get angry with the stress of life And forget the little things So open up and look around At the fun life brings And there are so many roads to follow So many thoughts are shallow I’ve got someone always right by my side Sister, won’t you stay with me Sister, take a walk with me Sister, there will be a better day 'Cause the good vibes are here with us to stay Yeah, yeah Oh they're here to stay There are so many roads to follow So many thoughts are shallow I’ve got someone always right by my side Sister, won’t you stay with me Sister, take a walk with me Sister, there will be a better day 'Cause the good vibes are here with us to stay
